regular auctioneering," smiled Addy. "I trust you are not nervous over the prospects."
"Never mind if I am," returned Matt bravely. "I am going to do my best. If I get nervous I'll get over it just as quickly as I can."
Some time before sundown they entered Plainfield; half an hour later they found a suitable stopping place, and then Andy went off to secure some stand where they might do business.
He came back in an hour and stated that he had secured an empty store, which would be much better than selling from the wagon.
"The store will only cost us a dollar a day as long as we use it, and we ought to be able to make that much more out of it," he said.
They went to work that night transferring the stock from the wagon to the store shelves, and when this was finished both set to work to wash and dress the show window.
On the following morning at ten o'clock, they hung out a red flag, and then the Eureka Auction Co. was ready for business.
